QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:33 PM) I love your posts, but I have to admit, this comes off as a bit presumptuous. Why should that be the goal? We've seen some crazy s*** just happen. Now we're going to immediately go back to saying that we're all crazy? Seriously though, all of us here need to stop pretending that we know what is and isn't available. A lot of my favorite posters on this site have been doing this and it's been driving me nuts. Nobody knows what every GM is willing or not willing to give up.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) What dont you like about Cease? His numbers look fantastic to me Some people see him as a reliever. Stuff is nasty though and so are the numbers so that shouldn't even be a thought yet.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) so in addition to having a stacked farm system - also keep on mind how absolutely little money we have tied up beyond in 2018 and beyond Yuuuup

Who knows if he'll ever be a good major leaguer but you get the feeling Jake is just going to fly through the minors.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) I'd be willing to bet you a keg of beer he becomes a pretty nice NBA player...starter or 6th man type. He might, I could also see him being a guy that plays 5 minutes a game because his team is playing 4 on 5 on offense with him out there. Like I said, not defending the trade at all as it was completely moronic and even more annoying but I'm not going to freak out about Bell just yet.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) I know it doesn't *really* matter, but I'd like to see Burger batting higher than 5th. He's the best prospect in that lineup and they should be trying to maximize the number of PA's that he gets. It doesn't matter but the thing is there's no reason not to do it either.

The trade was completely stupid but the legend of Jordan Bell is pretty crazy already.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Smoked the ball in his AB It's that babip regression. Nice to see him out there, he definitely deserves it.

Also the Enzo and Cass stuff has been terrific. I was so tired of them so didn't think I'd care about the split at all but they've both been awesome.

Brian doesn't like Hero or the Bucks. I need new friends.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 06:47 AM) Now I remember. Tax savings. Robert signs a deal for $26 Million, Sox get another similar bill for some tax, and now the White Sox biggest concern is Robert's tax return. This tax saving concept sucked from day one. Here is what you do: 1. Pay the tax owed. 2. Move to the US. So, instead, this mega - wealthy 19 year old is hanging around the DR with money coming out of his pockets, dealing with whomever, playing once a week on some sand lot. He predictably hurts himself and goes to the local witch doctor for medical attention. He should be over here getting big league instruction, playing as often as possible, and getting better as quickly as possible. But No. We need to save taxes. What do we do to save taxes in 2018? Keep him in the DR again? Isn't this what crazy people do? Same thing over and over. What did Red Sox do when they signed Moncada to similar deal two years ago? They moved him the the US, put him on the Low A roster, and played him. Tax savings. $26 Mill is not enough. We have to save his taxes, too. Good lord.

I'm a little in love with Omega

Can confirm that Kyle has never hated anyone in his life more than he hates Charlie Tilson.

Guerrero is just having a ridiculous year.

7 inning, 8 k's and 0 walks and earned for Dane now.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) Dane Dunning pitching another gem. 5 IP, 2 R, 0 ER, 5 K's, 0 BB. Through 6 with 0 earned, 6k's and no walks. ERA under 3 in Winston now. Talk about making an adjustment.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Going to be emotional seeing Rodon pitch after he was part of the In Memoriam to start the season. John Cena like recovery skills to get back from that 2-3 year projection time.

It is what it is but Avi's ops is just plummeting right now.

Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 2m2 minutes ago Looks like Quintana, who is out of the inning, might have told Sanchez he struck him out two times. If we trust my lip-reading skills.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) QUintana was chirping there, what was that about I'm not watching but looking at gameday it appears that Joe West still f***in sucks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) Two biggest scouting blunders for me over last decade: - hoping Sox wouldn't draft Trout because he was too much like Rowand - being against a Q to NYY trade for Judge, Severino and more this past offseason My bad You wouldn't have taken an Aaron Rowand career from where the Sox were drafting that year?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Time to sell high on Avi. Every time I think he's about to completely tank he goes on about a week long crazy hot streak. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about selling high on him if you can, I'm just intrigued to see how he reacts to this super cold streak.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 07:56 PM) Perfect thru 3 Minus the walk.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 11:59 AM) I'm sure most of us know, but here is the s30 cast. Guy cast looks good but where are Emily and Ev? They retire? http://www.mtv.com/news/3018210/challenge-xxx-dirty-30-cast/ I'm guessing Emily doesn't want to do it these days but that's a complete guess on my part.

Maybe they made that trade so we can all agree on something?
